Congratulations on your choice of a Hifonics subwoofer. This “Quick Start Installation” guide is meant to help you “hook up” and play music. For more detailed information on system setting, speaker and subwoofer configuration, and full specifications by model, visit the website at Hifonics.com Before you start Recommended enclosures It’s a good idea to confirm that you have purchased the correct size subwoofers to fit your vehicle. If you have any reservations about being able to complete the installation yourself, we recommend contacting a professional. Be careful as you go. Always disconnect the negative battery terminal before starting any electrical work on the vehicle. Sealed rectangle BZE-10S4S BZE-12S4S Enclosure types CAUTION Always consider consulting a professional audio installer before installing new subwoofers. High power audio systems have the ability create sound levels above 130dB. Extended exposure to high sound pressure levels can cause hearing damage. Always run any new wiring through safe areas that wont interfere with the normal operation of the vehicle. Sealed Sealed enclosures offer a range of performance profiles depending on the internal air volume. Larger enclosures will have a smoother more extended response while a small enclosure will have increased output in a more focused frequency range. Sealed enclosures are the simplest to construct but do require that the box be completely air tight.

Simply measure height, width and depth of enclosure you intend to build. Subtract the material thickness. Multiply these numbers and divide by 1728 to get the volume in cubic feet.

Use this averaged depth. 13.5” BZE-10S4S BZE-12S4S Vented designs are NOT recommended. This subwoofer is designed to perform in small sealed enclosures. Volume calculation 11.5” Sealed wedge Vented Subwoofer dimensions Height Use 3/4” MDF Make sure the woofer mounting panel is full width and height Glue all mating surfaces Use wood screws Use silicone caulk on all internal joints Crossovers Subwoofer specifications Low Pass (LPF) A Low pass filter will allow only the bass frequencies to reach the woofer making for a more natural transition to the higher frequency drivers. Check your amplifier’s manual for details. /3) 10Hz 100Hz 1000Hz Subsonic We recommend using an electronic subsonic filter. This will help to protect the woofer from extreme low frequency distortion. Many amplifiers are equipped with this type filter. Check your amplifier’s manual for details. +] 68%621,& 10Hz 100Hz 1000Hz Wiring Connections This subwoofer is equipped with quick disconnect type terminals.
